Zeke-BE Report post Posted March 29, 2018 If only one to hunt, carry, shoot multiple rounds, practice on, recoil, BC, and a all around round to take deer to elk down no prob will be the 280AI. I don't have one but that round is right smack in the middle of all the hunting rounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nw07heavy Report post Posted April 19, 2018 I was just thinking that all of you are right, and that all of these cartridges are tops. Great choices, every one for AZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomC Report post Posted April 19, 2018 Most people would be better off with one Deer/Elk rifle. Spend all practice time with it. Be good with it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomharveyb Report post Posted May 17, 2018 For AZ it would be the .270 Winchester. 130 gr. for deer, antelope. 150 gr. Nosler Partition for elk. my thoughts exactly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10Turkeys Report post Posted May 17, 2018 Although I haven't tried them in my .270, I probably wouldn't hesitate using a Hornady 145gr ELD-X on an Elk, if I ever get drawn for one. On the ELD-X line, I wonder why Hornady doesn't offer them in a lighter bullet? Say a 120 in a 6.5, a 130 in .270, and maybe a 150 in .308? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
